Also, what would cause this and is there > a quick fix to prevent it from happening again? I've never had it happen but I think Dan's write up is correct for his situation. My system's are typically setup like Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity iused ifree %iused Mounted on /dev/ad0s2a 99183 49143 42106 54% 2510 22576 10% / /dev/ad0s2f 1488607 16996 1352523 1% 1319 371671 0% /tmp /dev/ad0s2g 10517574 5262140 4414029 54% 292511 2342239 11% /usr /dev/ad0s2e 496111 14604 441819 3% 1588 123338 1% /var procfs 4 4 0 100% 45 487 8% /proc My big system also has sufficient inodes. It looks like Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity iused ifree %iused Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 99183 37998 53251 42% 2071 23015 8% / /dev/ad3s1f 992239 524 912336 0% 205 249649 0% /tmp /dev/ad0s1e 11934818 3973876 7006157 36% 264733 2719201 9% /usr /dev/da0s1e 4102037 511023 3262852 14% 46190 985488 4% /usr1 /dev/ad1s1e 2999774 1259377 1500416 46% 5057 724541 1% /usr3 /dev/ad3s1e 496111 26861 429562 6% 1387 123539 1% /var /dev/ad3s1g 11442450 5259025 5268029 50% 144888 2720006 5% /usr2 procfs 4 4 0 100% 50 482 9% /proc I didn't do anything special when I created them. These are the defaults from when I created the filesystems using sysinstall. The way the usage is going, I think I'm going to run out of HD before I run out of inodes. You can see that I don't have a lot of small files on /. I'm guessing here but it looks to me like you have a lot of files in /root. Otherwise you would have a usage like mine. You need to mv them to something like /usr/root/dir and then link it to /root/dir. The space allocated to /tmp, and /var is the same on all systems. What ever is left is allocated to /usr. I would think that you could move what is causing you to run out of inodes on to /usr as a link. To recreate a file system such as /, you have to reinstall. I have rearranged things by shutting down to single user mode (shutdown now) and mv'ed things /var to a different HD. Create the link and exit to multi-user mode. You have to check link permissions.
